The bitching on this board includes these statements:[/b]
"We want more black kids on the team."
"The coaches are limiting the talent pool available to them."
"The coaches are avoiding kids from a different 'culture'."
"Anything else Dennis says."
The coaches proceed to offer a bunch of black kids from California, Texas, and Oklahoma. And not just suburban black kids either. Some of them are from areas that are known as, you know, "the hood".
[/b]
The boards response:[/b]
"What the fuck are they doing?"
"What is going on?"
"Those kids are never coming here, it's a total waste of time."
The irrational hypocrisy is stunning. How does nobody else notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. [/b]
Where's the black kids being offered in CA? All of these recent offers that we're reacting to are in the south. It has nothing to do with that. Jake Majors isn't black and he was also a pointless offer.
Boner can't recruit black kids from LA or AZ, what the fuck makes you think he can get any from Texas or Oklahoma?
13 out of the 16 Cali recruits offered for 2020 so far are black.
Why can't UW get kids from Texas or Oklahoma? I'm seeing a lot of excitement from those kids on Twitter when they get a UW offer. A lot of "ooh that's a big one" type of stuff from their friends. Texas kids are about winning. UW is starting to sell itself. They should be able to get 2 or 3 guys from Texas every class.
How the fuck are they ever supposed to get any of them if they don't try? Hmmmm?
I’d be more impressed by their excitement if they posted the correct name of the University.
For all the value/meaning the staff places on the offers.... how many offers have gone out to out of region kids for how many commits. Levi/Fuller/Curne
For fucks sake, look at what happened with Kennedy Lewis that’s the likely scenario for most of these kids.
Promise you we’d have a higher closing rate if we focus more on Cali with an RB coach that’s better at recruiting than he is at creeping Instagram/Twitter wannabe models.
From 2015-2019, per 247, UW has offered 554 PSAs. In that time frame, we've offered 93 kids from Texas, about 17% of total offers. The Huskies signed 106 players from 2015-2019, with only 4 coming from Texas, about 4%.
2015-2019 signees & offers by in our "region" by state (I'm excluding Idaho, Wyoming, Montana & New Mexico... Not enough FBS prospects) and the hit %:
AZ: 5/32 = 15%
CA: 43/252 = 17%
CO: 0/7 = 0%
HI: 6/22 = 27%
NV: 1/12 = 8%
OR: 5/12 = 41%
UT: 4/29 = 13%
WA: 33/34 = 97%
Except for Colorado, the hit (signee) rate is still higher than in Texas.
I probably fucked up my math (I was a psychology major) but you get the gist
Good maff but it only means something if we somehow decide "offers" indicates how much time, energy, etc is spent on those commits.
I don't believe the total investment in recruiting Texas has been anything close to 17%. I would guess it's a lot closer to the 4%.
I came from the angle that UW (seemingly) doesn’t throw out offers and the evidence in Texas seems to indicate otherwise.
I would say in terms of actual time, I agree it’s closer to 4%
